Geocache Description:

The park that this cache is located in is known as Hatch Park and was in desperate need of a cache. There is also a bit of history at this park as well.

The following came from the NOAA website.

Tornado, North Salt Lake, Davis County June 2, 1993, 1620 MST, 40 50'N, 111 55'W A tornado was spawned by a thunderstorm cell at about 5:20 PM at the Center Street Park in North Salt Lake. The tornado was first seen as a funnel cloud to the southwest of the park. Everyone took cover before the tornado struck the ball field which displayed a hit and miss pattern of debris damage to the northeast of the ball field. It was on the ground less than five minutes. Two people received puncture wounds from flying debris and many individuals were covered with mud and dirt. Large tree limbs were broken and a couple of two-foot diameter trees were uprooted. Shingles were blown off some roofs and the fence surrounding the tennis court was damaged. The tornado also shattered three windows and bent the passenger door of the mini-van parked on the south end of the park. This tornado caused about $15,000 in damages.

As you can see by the cords the cache is hidden not far from where this event took place. Bring your own writing tool as there isn't room in the cache for one. Also if anyone has any pictures of the aftermath of this tornado feel free to post them here.
